Mr. Guy: Zombie Hunter: Act 1 - To Save Himself

by Oneshi press

Mr. Guy: Zombie Hunter is a zombie-apocalypse caper of ridiculous proportions. Our reluctant hero, Mr. Guy, is your average half-goblin dude just trying to get by in his modern high-fantasy world. But then, on a standard cow-babysitting gig, he gets bitten by some decomposing jerk! Instead of shambling back from the dead, he discovers his bite wound is haunted by a sassy floating skull named Spooky—who comes with neato powers!

But there’s a catch: Mr. Guy and his new sidekick do not get along. Now, if they want to get away from each other, they'll have to cure zombieism. Which means they have to save the world. How tedious.

But wait! There’s more! Mr. Guy isn’t just any comic book. It’s an art-thology! Yes…that is a word we made up. It refers to one book that tells a continuous story (written by Jayel Draco), illustrated by multiple—amazing—artists. Each eight-page arc comes with a new artist and breaks down a different pop-culture trope as our reluctant hero investigates what caused the apocalypse…and kicks a lot of zombie butt along the way. Could it have been an old west barkeep spreading the infection? Or maybe with a whole town infested with infected? Are we saying it was a retrovirus? Stay tuned as Mr. Guy solves it all—or dies trying!

Act 1: To Save Himself features the illustrations of an all-star lineup: Jayel Draco, Walter Ostlie, Diana Camero, and Jacey Chase. There's also cover art from Sonne, letters from Cardinal Rae, and guest art from Sophia Murphy. In this 52-page graphic novel, you’ll be treated to a smorgasbord of visual stylings, a gut-busting deconstruction of classic zombie subgenres, and one heckin’ heck of a ride.
